Report #39608

[agent\_craft] Agent retrieves single functions via RAG, missing class context, leading to incorrect usage

Retrieve at the symbol level but always include the parent definition \(class\) and docstrings, rather than just the function chunk.

Journey Context:
Naive chunking splits files by line counts or token limits, breaking the structural hierarchy. A method chunk without its class definition loses self context and inherited methods. Symbol-level retrieval with parent anchoring ensures the agent understands the object's state and capabilities.
